coming into the country from abroad does seem to have triggered some weird customs issues where people are detained possibly for 1A issues.
I'm not sure if that always happens and it's only being publicized now...but weird stuff that is frightening if you have been publically anti-trump and flying into the country.
Two young German travelers expected their Hawaii trip to be the highlight of a months-long world adventure. Instead, their visit ended in handcuffs, jail time, and deportation — a stark reminder of the risks some international visitors face at U.S. borders.
U.S. citizen in Arizona detained by immigration officials for 10 days Immigration officials in Tucson arrested the 19-year-old man from Albuquerque on April 8, saying he had entered the country illegally, before a judge dismissed his case on April 17.
So, America, HOW MANY weeks until we start hearing about the early planning for "camps" for "undesirable" Americans?
I know lots of folks here in the US who think Trump is a moron, a-hole, narcissist, racist, lying loser (among a number of other things). Not one of these folks seem to have the slightest fear of saying this loudly and often.
Are they white? Then chances are Trump will not declare them terrorists and remove them from the country for attending a protest.
Let no white American kid themselves that Trump's faults are limited to racism. In fact, ask some white former members of his cabinet who might get killed by Iranian terrorists one day....
why am i paying $20 grand per head per year for ES to hold people we have supposedly deported already? normally deportation is i wash my hands and end of cost.
why am i paying taxes for people that ES can use in prisoner exchanges with venezuela?
we're like the sports team that not only trades someone but agrees to cover their salary against their own cap.
when is my artful deal coming, donald?
It's mutually beneficial. It's more expensive to hold a prisoner in the US. But that's a good deal of $ for El Salvador.
of course, we could just gas them and save far more money.
Tiny silver lining: Trump, Homan, Noem, etc. probably aren't nearly competent enough to pull off what the Nazis did.
By every metric that we historically judged presidents by, Biden had a successful presidency. By every metric that we historically judged presidents by, Trump is racing towards the worst presidency in history.
But let’s throw out the old Presidential metrics because we have new ones introduced by Trump 2.0
1. Our global alliances are completely destroyed
2. global tourism is imploding because nobody wants to come here.
3. Our economy is imploding due to uncertainty and foreign investment going elsewhere
4. our Universities are to be avoided because govt wants to control hiring and curriculum
5. we are being added to the global list of civil rights violators and nations are issuing travel warnings
6. Distrust of allies and friends due to imperialistic war threats by tweet by our leader
7. corruption and self dealing never matched before
Did I forget any?
8. The forced migration of ~2M and luxury redevelopment of Gaza is going a little slow for my tastes.

you all must think the Republicans in congress who investigated biden are on the biden crime family payroll or something.
Those Republicans in congress swore they'd impeach Joe, until they realized there were no crimes.
Why apologize for that dope? Comer documented all the pay for play. The only saving grace is the level of corruption in Government exposed by DOGE gives a comparable “not so bad,” and Obama was just slicker.
The denial is fascinating:
1) Less than a hand's worth of fingers to count the Republicans currently standing up to Trump.
2) Essentially the same Republican Congress didn't come within a country mile of impeaching Biden.
Conclusion: Everything they said about Biden was absolutely true and easily provable.
Apparently, a WHOLE lot of Republican Trumper cowards disagreed with you.
(Belated) Disgusting Republican Senators Competition Update: By benefit of their positions and perfect obedience, Rubio and Vance are now WAY out in front of Graham and Cruz. And it ain't just the shoes.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed plans about a military operation against the Houthis in Yemen on a second Signal group chat, this one on his personal phone and including his wife, lawyer and brother, three peop...
Hegseth is toast . Russia Ukraine not solved in 24 hours. Gaza burning. The US dollar is on the verge of full scale collapse. Foreign governments are selling US assets. Yields spiked. Stocks crashed. Small businesses closing. Recession imminent. But we still like our guy, right?
But he has AMAZING policies!
heh
remember people said idiotic things like 'mean tweets 2024' suggesting trump's policies would be great so stop freaking out about his tweets?
And then those policies wrecked the dollar, the stock market and soon the economy.

reminder that a combination of presidential polls after Trump's first admin had him DFL among all presidents.
These first 100 days of one disaster after the next will cement Trump's status as the forever basement dweller.
Worst president ever, and it's not even that close. I'd fly to Nixon, who apparently, when not out of his mind drunk, actually knew something about the world and loved his country more than he loved himself.

They say Brexit is the worst self inflicted economic injury a country has recently done to itself. Trumps Tariffs will take that crown. And his Tariffs are only one of a dozen self inflicted blows Trump is throwing at the US.
Pete Hegseth (2016) on Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server: “Any security professional, military, government or otherwise, would be fired on the spot…and criminally prosecuted for being so reckless with this kind of information.”
Nothing to see here. Just the Presidents press secretary saying the entire Pentagon is against Hegseth and not perceiving how damaging this statement is to the millions in the military and the US status in the world and to our enemies.
“The President stands strongly behind @SecDef, who is doing a phenomenal job leading the Pentagon. This is what happens when the ENTIRE Pentagon is working against you and against the MONUMENTAL change that you are trying to implement.”
